Kids at Risk
Net proceeds from Boston’s Run To Remember go to Kids At Risk Programs throughout the City of Boston. Kids At Risk Programs provide safe and nurturing environments encouraging inner city youths to make healthy choices and an alternative to gangs and acts leading to incarceration. Since it’s inception in 1994, over $500,000 has been raised funding two primary programs for inner city youths:
- Annual memberships at Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs and other after school programs.
- Summer programs and camps for over 600 youths annually.
Organizations benefiting from the Kids At Risk Program include:
- BGCB Young Leaders Program
- The Boston Youth Fund
- Dorchester YMCA Summer Camp
- Ella J Baker House Science Camp
- Frank A. Day Summer Camp
- Franklin Field Boys and Girls Club
- Kevin Kennedy All Star Baseball Camp
- The Reggie Lewis Athletic Center
- Side Kick Karate Camp
- South Boston Boys and Girls Club
- Young Graffiti Masters
